    im 8 episodes into season 1 and im loving it. This is so cool. I read the first book, but decided to hell with it and just watch the show anyways without reading the rest of the series.

    The woman who plays The Queen or the mother of Geoffry is a convincing actress because I despise her character on the show.

    interesting stuff.

    yeah cersei a bitch alright. if you want to see lena headey in a role you wont depsise her in i suggest gossip. its a good film regardless

    the books give you so much more than the series ever will be able to.

    her performance on season 2, 'blackwater' episode is emmy award worthy.

    i think a lot of the cast deserves to at least be nominated but even then their chances are probably not that great with shows like Boardwalk Empire, Homeland, Breaking Bad around.. Sean Bean definitely should've been nominated for the first season..

    anyways.. it's only been three months since the second season ended and it feels like it's been ages.. :(

    Agree. I never got into Boardwalk and I'm behind in watching Homeland.

    I think the young actresses are fantastic too (Arya, Sansa) - now that I think about it, everybody's really really good.

    yeah, they should at least release the second season on DVD already so we can nerd out on the Commentaries.. :)

    i know what you mean.. what other show has such great child actors?!
    i am waiting for Boardwalk, Homeland and The Walking Dead to return, though.. to pass the time untill GOT returns..

    not sure if this has been mentioned before but just found out today that the person that plays shae was a pornstar for a bit before her acting career took off. and i guess her parents werent too proud of her when that came out...

    Well its taken me over a year to read it in chunks, mainly because I sit it down for a few months and then have to re-read everything to remember who and what happened. It doesn't help that everyone has 4-5 different names. :fp:

    Still, a damn good read that matches Tom Clancy on details.

    ya ... but by the time you get to book 4 and 5 ... you realize that detail is like adding origami to burger and fries ... it's just not necessary ...

    The next two seasons of the show should be fantastic. They better step it up a notch though Season 2 was not as good as i wanted it to be. And my opinion is all taht matters as you know :D

    :lol: There's no way that the next 2 seasons won't be amazing. I mean, just the storyline alone is incredible...I don't think they'll botch it. And if they do...I shall be writing some very angry letters indeed!

    OK! I finally finished book 1 last night. My thoughts ...

    The Good:

    Some great plot arcs. Especially enjoyed Ned's, Arya's, Snow's, and Dany's

    Awesome detail. With the maps I could totally visualize the lay of the land

    The author wasn't afraid to kill off key figures

    The Bad:

    Considering how detailed Ned's journey was, his death had little detail. I suspect a doppelgänger (at least I hope) and that he still lives.

    After finishing, I realized there was an index that spelled out all the clans and names .... Probably could have finished this book 10 months ago if I had known ... :fp:

    The Ugly:

    Dragon babies???

    :fp: :fp: :fp:

    Look at Richy Rich over there with HBO..... :P

    There's no promotions on Torrents. :twisted: :twisted:
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
